Faster?
 
Is it just me, or is Platinum faster? Especially the battles. Sandstorm, rain, hail, faster? The battle animations and the word-speed seem faster. I like it better than the snailly D/P.

Haza April 15th, 2009 3:14 PM

Yep it is, and the best speed improvement would be the surfing speed!

Queen April 15th, 2009 3:53 PM

Yes, they made it faster.
People wouldn't want to be in a battle that takes so long just because of the sandstorm animation xD

Volkner's Apprentice April 15th, 2009 3:58 PM

O_o I just now noticed that. Hooray! Sandstorms have neat new graphics and yeah, they're definitely faster.

I haven't experienced the new surfing speed but huzzah to that as well. I always hated the speed in which I had to surf at.

Silhouette April 15th, 2009 4:01 PM

The first thing I noticed was the battling speed. While my friend was playing his Platinum, he was surprised by the snow. But me, I hardly realized the snow. I was like "I think I just fought my rival, but it so fast.."

It took me awhile to notice. The only way I noticed the faster speed of the battles was by just going back to Diamond briefly after playing Platinum for so long and then complaining how sluggish the battles were in Diamond.

SkittyLover77 April 15th, 2009 4:58 PM

...Really? o.O I didn't notice. But I DID notice the ownage srfing speed. I wanted to slowly roast my DS over a grill when I had to surf in Pearl. I am happy with the new surfing speed. ;D

the only graphics I knew that was quicker was the surfing, I never noticed the others


:t354:TG

I noticed the speed changes right off the bat. It was the fist thing I noticed and I'm still really happy about it. The delays between moves and battle effects is pretty much gone and the surfing speed is nothing to laugh at either. Just a couple more reasons to love platinum.

Editman April 15th, 2009 6:00 PM

Yeah. the Surfing speed used to aggravate me

almostlovehate April 15th, 2009 6:02 PM

The game was also a bit harder for me, anyone else notice that?
I never had that much trouble in Pearl. >.>
Harder.
Better.
Faster.
...stronger?

The only speed boost I noticed was in surfing. In fact, I get a lot more "Saving a lot of datas" in Platinum.

Yeah, it seems like forever when saving. I have corrupted by getting impatient once! XD

abarai April 15th, 2009 7:27 PM

Never noticed 0.o , glad i dont have to wait as long during sandstorm animations though >.<

Mattysaurus April 15th, 2009 7:34 PM

Yah, I hated the fact that you had to Surf for like 10 minutes, just to get to the Pokemon League or something...

Also, the new and improved move animations are not sluggish at all....I like Razor Leaf for some reason.

The Red Chain April 16th, 2009 1:07 AM

The surf speed is a huge improvement... Me and a friend of mine played Platinum and Pearl together one time to check out the changes.
We both started surfing, and when I realized how fast I was speeding over the water I was like 'woahhh..' especially when I noticed how slow my friend's Surf was.
I didn't realize until now though how fast the weather animations are..

Yay for Platinum's major improvements. ;3

Lt. Silver April 16th, 2009 3:20 AM

I actually get a lot less "saving a lot of data" then I did in pearl.

-Leaf April 16th, 2009 3:56 AM

Who cares if its saving alot of data, at least the battery is alive :D

Yeah. When I first started surfing, I was like "Where did my character get this jet ski??"

kissing. raindrops April 16th, 2009 11:41 AM

Yes! && I love it. Surf is so much faster, hey? ;D Yay!

giradialkia April 16th, 2009 3:41 PM

Ok i'm definately getting Platinum (it's not out in Ireland yet, so i'd not decided yet.). I'm currently playing thru Diamond again, and even with battle animations turned off, it still takes forever!

Cynic Kaka April 16th, 2009 3:46 PM

The Saving A Lot of Data thing happens every time you catch a pokemon or hatch one, and it's longer than in D/P!

Zelda April 16th, 2009 5:49 PM

The things that I realized are faster is the surfing, hail, and sandstorm. I really liked how you can surf faster though! :)

Nnoitra Jiruga April 16th, 2009 5:49 PM

Yeah, I'm glad though. D/P was just S-L-O-W.

Kokuo April 16th, 2009 5:50 PM

I'm very happy about the speed boost. Training pokemon isn't as much of a nusiance now that the battles are faster. And faster surfing is awesome as well.
